Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the OAT gene is commonly pathogenic or not.

In the table, we include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, Mane Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equals 1. Click the count to view the source variants.

Warning: slight differences between displayed counts and the number of variants in ClinVar may occur, primarily due to (1) the application of a different transcript and/or consequence by our variant effect predictor or (2) differences in clinical significance: we classify Benign/Likely benign variants as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic variants as Likely pathogenic.

• Disease: DISEASE: Hyperornithinemia with gyrate atrophy of choroid and retina (HOGA) [MIM:258870]: A disorder clinically characterized by a triad of progressive chorioretinal degeneration, early cataract formation, and type II muscle fiber atrophy. Characteristic chorioretinal atrophy with progressive constriction of the visual fields leads to blindness at the latest during the sixth decade of life. Patients generally have normal intelligence. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1612597, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1737786, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23076989, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2793865, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3375240, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7668253, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7887415}.
